[Realtime-feed-users] Event ids in cont_mi.json shakemaps

Hello,

Are there specific contributors that have this problem?  It may be a
misconfiguration, I've added Bruce Worden to the email so he can comment
and/or help those contributors fix the problem.


An event with multiple contributors _may_ have multiple ids, but always has
a preferred id.  Because of the distributed nature of creating earthquake
information, any of the ids from any contributor can be used to access that
information.  The preferred id is determined by the id assigned by the
network with the preferred location ("origin" type product); often the
authoritative network for that location.

These ids appear in the GeoJSON format.  The preferred id is the feature id
attribute, and a comma separated list of all associated ids as the property
"ids".


Thanks,

Jeremy
